Anyone who’s ever grown squash is familiar with the way this innocent little vegetable tends to take over not only your garden, but also your summer menu plans. I’m not sure why anyone (myself included) plants more than one of these to keep a large family fed, or the entire neighborhood for that…
“A charming way to remember the first year of our baby is stamping her/his footprints on a canvas that will hung in the room and marking it every month to see the evident growth of our son.”

I’m sensing a theme here…
i made this fridge notepad yesterday. i used a free flooring sample from a hardware supply store, some ribbon i found on the street, and a roll of receipt paper from when i worked at a bank for a few years.
you can also see some buttons i repurposed as fridge magnets.
P.S.- Dive into DIY this summer! The weather is hot, and your accessories should be too. This seasons attire is “Beach Chic”, so please dress accordingly. Elie Tahari’s SS2011 Collection boasted a stunning and breezy beach wrap, which was the inspiration for this DIY. Whether you’re beach-bound or bouncing around town, everyone needs a bevy of beaded necklaces.
To create: reach for thin material/fabric, cut into long strips. P.S.- the thinner, the better. Cut strips, angling the top, pinch ends to thread beads through. Classic pony beads are ideal and are available in a variety of colors. Get creative with color combos and spacing to create a staggering look. Make multiple strands for the ultimate summer statement necklace.
